Obama Sees Unusual Spike In Facebook Likes
More than 10 times his usual daily growth rate.
President Barack Obama’s Facebook page showed an unusual spike in “likes” on Tuesday, growing by more than 1.1 million — a more than 4 percent increase.
Obama and Romney had largely kept pace with each other in new “likes,” though Obama maintains more than a 3-to-1 lead.
Earlier this year the Romney campaign came under fire for a large spike in Twitter followers, sparking accusations that they purchased them. Aides quickly denied the rumors.
The Obama campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the spike.

dangerouslytalented 7 months agothe implication is what, that Obama is using bots? But why the hell would he use bots when he has such a commanding lead amongst facebook users? Maybe you should investigate the ACTUAL REASON why there was a spike, that is what REAL JOURNALISTS DO.

You can’t simply BUY likes on facebook, the database does not work that way, there has to be people BEHIND those likes. Why don’t you go to the Obama page, and look at the entries for that day, and you will be able to SEE exactly what was posted there that went viral and got all those likes? NO YOU DON’T BECAUSE YOU PREFER CONSPIRACY THEORIES OVER FACTS.
